Preparing for the community garden
Once grassy backyards, now school property, were cleared of stumps, plowed and tilled, and lined out with 20x20' garden plots. Soil was tested, and the results told us we needed a lot of lime. A load of compost will be delivered soon.
There will be room for 20 plots with the master gardeners taking a large area on the near end and two school classes taking a double plot at the far end. Three other double plots have been spoken for.
